It took me almost a week to get back to the army. I think four of us made it out of the twenty that went on that raid. I reported to Lt. Foster and th...n found Suzanne. I took her to the captain's tent where she had been waiting, held her in my arms for a time, kissed her eyes, her ears, her cheeks, her mouth and then her mouth again, sat her down and told her that her loving husband was dead. She sniffed, but she did not cry."How?" she asked, holding my arm. I must have smelled and looked awful. As he drifted back into his drug-induced slumber, he realized he hadn't even read the forms.Part V: Realization Marc awoke feeling a bit groggy. After a bit he realized he wasn't in a hospital anymore. The room was somewhat small, with the four-post canopy bed he was lying in taking up most of the space. He was covered in rose-colored satin sheets and upon further inspection, wearing a white satin camisole and panties. Even worse, it appeared that he was filling out the camisole quite nicely.. You can stay here forever—I won't complain."That earned me a big hug and, from a face wet with tears, a big, smacking kiss right on the lips. Through her tears, Rachael said, "You're the best, Al! We'll make it up to you."In a couple more minutes, the kids came in the kitchen. I looked at the twins. "You guys clued in on what's happening?" They were. "This will change our plans. Tomorrow, we've got to go to Aunt Rachael's house and get the rest of their stuff and bring it over here. OK?" Bless. She smiled again as he held her and breathed lightly on the back of her neck. I don’t know about him but how I felt, as we kissed, well that felt glorious she thought. Maybe making love to him despite that he’s only 22 years old and a senior in college wasn’t something I’d do on a daily basis but this guy is one special guy. Neither said a word for a while afterward. Silence seemed to encase the room while they lay side by side. She felt his lean strong body against hers as the air moved about.
